Most you go this far? Just when I thought you've stopped making silly posts, you just proved me wrong!

Go to hell. When the idiot made that useless comment did you people accuse him of going too far?? Why couldn't he post those comments of mine he read??

Rubbish.

Its so unfortunate the SE and SS made a wrong move in the last election. It would not mean they are against Buhari or APC govt. It's crystal clear that the Incumbent pdp govt in these regions rigged out APC from winning . That may or may not necessarily be the choice of the people.
I think APC should on the spirit of good governance and proactive leadership consider the impossible and integrate every region in the sharing formular. Everybody must not vote for a particular party. We shouldn't take all that happens before the election very serious rather APC should carry Nigeria democracy to a greater height. For instance, Gej conceded defeat just for the love of his country. SS and SE should be considered. Am sure 2 people won under APC in the HOT. They should not be ignored . Through these understanding, the SS and SE will give APC every support needed for 2019.

I read his comments, and it still didn't justify the new low you've steeped to.

Everyone who follows my posts here knows I'm anything but "tribalistic", but these innuendoes coming from a particular section of this country is becoming too damn annoying.

How come these writers, Chuks Okocha and Onyebuchi Ezigbo, talked about the four topmost positions of authority going to the North leaving nothing to the South?? Has the position of the VP been eliminated from our constitution?? Is Osinbajo a Northerner When would these guys stop this polarising brand of doing stuffs??

Very irritating to say the least.

Comprehension is your problem.. The article included GMB among the top 4 positions, so who's the VP going to deputize? In simple English, GMB occupies the top position while Osibanjo occupies 2nd top position.

You read them, did you rebuke him?? Why is mine giving you headaches??

Chigold101:
sometimes you amaze me so much.

Tell me what is the work of VP when the president is there.

Vice President is just like Deputy Senate President & Deputy speaker. These men have no power at all as long as their principals are still alive.

They are erand men. The persons that call the shots are the president, senate president & the speaker.

So stop trivatising this issue. It is a serious issue. It has nothin to do with bigotory or tribalism.

Constitutionally, the VP is supposed to be the head of an economic team. I will look for it and post it here for you.

Apart from that, Atiku as a VP was very visible and active not like GEj and Sambo.

A VP should be very influential to ensure that his zone benefits in developmental projects by the government.

I see that post as very very vital and you should please stop trivializing it.

The article reads:

...Northern section of the country would account for the four topmost positions in the country.

These are the presidency, which will be occupied by (1)Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), (2)the post of Senate President, (3)that of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the (4)Chief Justice of the Federation (CJN).

Mr comprehensive interpreter, stop translating nonsense.

Rose2014:
No it's not. VP carries no weight. That's why Uncle Jo(though had a northern VP) gave them the other key positions. It's called 'fairness'

So it was uncle Jo that made Tambuwal the Speaker HOR? The Senate Presidency was long held by NC even before your uncle Jo became president. So, what are you talking?

PassingShot:
I know of a few reps of APC from Edo. I don't know any from SE, be it for Senate or HOR.

Although it is just one, but it is worth mentioning.
Chike John Okafor, APC...representing Ehime-Mbano/Ihitte-Uboma/Obowo federal constituency.

Always do your research, not everybody here is dumb or a bandwagowner.

AhmedMustapha:
These reporters forget that currently, the North has the VP, Senate President, Speaker of Reps and Chief Justice of the Federation so what's different if the same scenario is playing out. The SW have the Vice-President and I'm sure Prof.Osibanjo will keep GMB on his toes. There are six geopolitical zones in the country and NW and SW are already settled. The remaining zones NE,NC,SE,SS are jostling for the remaining slots. So how will it amount to injustice if the NE and NC share the Nos 3&4 positions when clearly those zones have no top slot in the next dispensation.

Sorry, it's not the same thing at all by any stretch of imagination. Currently, under Pdp the number one position is occupied by Gej, a Southerner. Thank me for reminding you.
But if the North's plans sail through the SW and indeed the entire south will be left to pick the crumbs(deputies). Not fair. We don enter ONE CHANCE!

omenka:
[s]Unfollow the thread all you want those curse, believe me, are gonna follow you, your siblings, your parents, and your generations unborn in life and the life after. God is my witness.

You accused me of posting comments that malign the Igbo tribe. You said you "read" those comments. I asked that you upload those comments here for all to see and you went beating about the bush.

You are cursed. Your children and children's children will reap sorrow and misery till eternity if you can't post those comments you read from me that insults the Igbo tribe or any other tribe for that matter[/s].

Shut up you iddiott. Look who is talking! May the gods strike you dead this moment. These curses will go back to you a thousand fold, useless, frustrated son of lucifer. May you burn to blazes and ashes.

why worry yourself about these perpetual losers.35years ago they lost power militarily, now,even though they try to gain power through the backdoor by supporting someone whom they adopted overnight, they lost again through the power of ballot process vis a vis pvc card.from the way these biafran kids are whining,it is very clear that they are yet to recover from the defeat that has reduced them to political irrelevance, even though the Niger sultans who son lost has already overcome their loss and moved on.

omenka:
I added something to the post.

And by the way, I wasn't expecting anything different from you. When confronted with reality and fact, this is all you guys are fond of doing; abscond.

I'm not absconding mate. What points did you raise that could make me abscond?

OnyeIbo:
Nigeria can take the whole slots. We (Biafrans) are going to burn down the Zoological republic, anyways.

Online coward

Sunnybobo3:

Go back, read the post and respond without sounding inane and verbose.

Rose2014:
South already has the presidency, it was only fair to carry the north along.

But alas not under Buhari can such fairness thrive

Stop crying you lost go and form opposition when GEJ ignored SW we didn't cry stop carrying shey you people don't need politics to survive

Scatterboss:
Must you call a whole tribe slave? What the fu.uck is your problem. Are you people slaves to the Ijaw as well since you all queue behind GEJ/Sambo. You have been screaming slave everywhere like a deranged dog, grow up and stop embarassing your family online. Rubbish.

Yes o Igbos are slaves to the Ijaws since they voted for him they are still suffering from post election Loss trauma

shineeye:
vice president is as useless as tissue paper north have sideline the yorubas again,buhari as an illiterate hausa fulani again deceive tinubu by asking him to choose a vp for senate president and the man fell for it knowing very well if TINUBU was an igbo he will see his cunning plan from far. Now north will choose a senate president in that way buhari will be in full control una go cry again..

Looool we are not crying yorubas got a better deal we are happy with our slots go and form your opposition rather it's igbo I pity most of their large business men are owing babk money as well as innosin that forced Nigeria to stop importing cars so as to satisfy his agenda do go and work on that ehn stop crying yorubas are not complaining

truefact:
Yorubas should know that VP is not elective post. VP has no power. VP determines nothing. VP is just an assistant

Is that all you have to say ??

BlackTechnology:
Olodo


The military is not the same as democracy

But leadership style is the same stop hating on yoruba God help you Osibanjo will be an active VP

oyeludef:
d senate president is still likely to b a yoruba man from kwara(north central). Y do u guys want to reap where u didnt sow? D yorubas were left out of last administration and dey didnt make noise.its ur turn now so go build an opposition

Leave them by the time saraki & gbajabiamila are sworn in yoruba will be in charge of 2nd 3rd and 4th Igbos will just die of envy

omenka:
Wow!!! Coming from the PDP camp that insisted Buhari was a figure head during his first stint in Aso Rock and Idiagbon was the mastermind behind ALL the achievements under his administration. All of a sudden, the post has become USELESS!! Was Atiku useless and powerless??

Again, I say WOW!!

In addition, if we are to strip the article of its thinly veiled innuendoes, what the writers are referring to isn't really the South, but the SE and SS. Now, let's talk common sense and set aside sentiments for a little bit. Four out of the first Six citizens occupy elective positions (president, VP, Senate president, Speaker HoR), and going by the realities of the outcome of the elections, what do you suppose can be done about this other than what seems the likely turn of events?? Bear in mind these positions are to be held by APC members (just as they were by PDP members pre-Tambuwal defection). Who are those elected from the SE and SS under APC that can occupy those positions.

Discounting the SE (we really do not care about APC), there are members of parliament from the SW and SS who can assume leadership position in either chambers.

Also, the post of VP doesn't mean anything as he is constitutionally incapable of influencing any policy direction except that which is allowed by his boss. Therefore, if you say it's ok for the North to hold the four positions controlling the three arms of govt, I have nothing else to say but to wish you good luck.

chernest2002:
Let aboki take it all after all South West have been their slaves since 1914

Go and Die.

Imoh summary, he's clueless.

kettykings:
Nigeria might definitely end with something worse than was obtained in 1984.
Buhari is too senile and old to learn from his past mistakes.
Good luck Nigeria

You, you almost threw up; me, I almost vomited.

Rose2014:
Don't mind him. This same guy that can kill an Igbo person any day just to defend the Northern/Buhari's agenda.

And to think he just claimed to be non tribalistic almost made me throw up

I respect how you made your comment is not easy to stopping yourself from being dragged into a tribal e-war.

We must be alert that they are dark forces, who are really our enemies operating in this forum who are pretending to represent various tribal groups and making tribalistic comments to get us fighting each other.

Best thing to do is to report all tribalist threads and posts and avoid being drawn into a tribal war, because that is what these enemies of Nigeria want.

That depends what you consider the 2nd 3rd and 4th top most positions

For me VP , Petroleum, Finance Foreign are higher than the ones you listed.

zik4ever:
As the unlikelihood of the All Progressives Congress (APC) being able to enforce a zoning formula that would ensure the equitable distribution of key posts in the incoming administration becomes more apparent, there is a major likelihood that the Northern section of the country would account for the four topmost positions in the country.

These are the presidency, which will be occupied by Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), the post of Senate President, that of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the Chief Justice of the Federation (CJN).

Should this scenario play out, the entire Southern section of the country would end up with the posts of deputies starting from the vice-presidency to the deputy speakership, which could create a problem, as it contravenes the federal character clause enshrined in the constitution.

Sources in the APC informed THISDAY that with the “Tambuwal syndrome” gathering pace in the National Assembly, the chances are very high that the legislators would jettison whatever zoning formula that may be determined by the party and decide on key leaders of their choice.

The Tambuwal syndrome arose in 2011 when members of the House of Representatives ignored the zoning formula of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which had zoned the post of speakership and the deputy to the South-west and North-east geopolitical zones, respectively.

Instead, its members – Hon. Aminu Tambuwal and Hon. Emeka Ihedioha – respectively from the North-west and South-east, contested for the posts and emerged speaker and deputy speaker of the House with the help of their colleagues from the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) at the time.

An APC source said that as it stands, with the party unable to determine a generally acceptable zoning formula, this has provided the leeway for legislators to close ranks and back candidates of their choice.

He said that while the North-east and North-cental zones are angling for the Senate presidency, the South-west and North-east have entered the trenches in the battle for the speakership in the House.

The two main contenders for the Senate presidency are Senators Bukola Saraki from the North-central zone and Ahmed Lawan from the North-east, so should any of them emerge, the North would have clinched the post, the APC source explained.

For the speakership, the main contenders are Femi Gbajabiamila from the South-west and Yakubu Dogara from the North-east, with the latter having the clear edge over his South-west rival for the post.

The APC source said whichever way one looks at it, the North could end up holding all the four key positions in the incoming administration if care is not taken and the South, particularly the South-west which played a vital role in Buhari’s victory, playing second fiddle.

Jonathan and Sambo have the best President & Vice President so far since 1999.

OBJ & Atiku only worked very well between 1999 & 2002. By 2003 there were serious crack in their relationship which PDP leadership tried covering until after their re-election in 2003 when the crack became so wide that from 2003 to 2007 both were in serious fight. OBJ almost got Atiku impeeched but Atiku beeing a hard man who also have more political wisdom (then) than OBJ, did his homework so well that OBJ failed in his bid.

Atiku is the one that fought OBJ‘s third term bid & OBJ blackmailed him as he(OBJ) blackmailed everybody that worked with his goverment. But OBJ‘s blackmail could only make a USA congressman lose his sit for corruption.

During Yardua‘s time it was northerners from Katsina were ruling Nigeria with Yaradua. When Yar‘dua was in comma & life support merchine for months it was Turaki (yar‘dua‘s wife) that was practically ruling Nigeria. GEJ was sidelined by politcians from the north. (I for Osinbajo passing through the same thing).

In NIGERIA & USA, VP‘s are nobody. They can only do the bidden of their master, THE PRESIDENT.

VP does not head economic team (there is nothing like economic team, officially)(i stand to be corrected). The VP only chairs meeting on the economy when it holds. And it is not a must that it will hold. If the president allows him before he can call for the meeting.
